Rise of the Tomb Raider: Through the Glacier Walkthrough

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's get through this tricky section of 'The Path of the Deathless' in Rise of the Tomb Raider. The main goal here is to make your way to the heart of Kitezh. It looks intimidating, but we'll take it step-by-step.

Walkthrough

1
Start by moving forward and dropping down the first two ledges. You'll see a set of stairs ahead. Before you go up them, turn around and look back the way you came. See those stairs on the right? Climb them all the way to the top – there's an Archivist’s Map waiting for you.
2
Now, head back to the stairs you saw earlier. Just to the left of them, there's a small icy ledge. Grab the Feathers, the basket of Herbs, and the Document [01/04 - Russian] from here.
3
Drop down to the floor below. There's a shrub with some Hardwood on it – grab it if you need it. Then, push through the broken doorway in front of you.
4
Continue into the area called 'Path of the Deathless'. Keep an eye out on the right for another Document 01 just to the left of the main path.
5
From the end of this path, you'll need to jump across a chasm to the ledge on the far side. Once you land, use the handholds and the ice climbing wall to get to the top.
6
On this upper ledge, shimmy over to the left. When you get to the edge, jump left and then climb the ice wall at the end to reach the very top.
7
You'll see another ice wall right in front of you – jump to it. As soon as you regain control of Lara, hold forward on the control stick. This is important to make sure she moves to safety quickly.
8
Follow the path ahead. You'll find a crate with some Cloth, a Magnesite Ore deposit, and a cylinder of reagents. Loot everything as you go.
9
At the end of this path, scramble up to the handhold on the building to your right. Use the handholds and the ice wall there to climb up to the ice bridge at the top of the room.
10
From the end of the ice bridge, jump to the statue directly opposite. Shimmy around the statue to the left until you find a platform with a campfire.
11
Approach the campfire. This will unlock a new Base Camp called ‘Hall of Guardians’. Use this opportunity to apply any upgrades you've been saving and spend those hard-earned skill points. When you're ready, exit the Base Camp menu.
12
Head through the door directly behind the campfire and grab the cylinder of reagents inside.
13
Use the thin rock bridge to get down to the ledge below. Keep moving forward until the path becomes too narrow to walk normally. Lara will automatically brace herself against the wall.
14
Slowly inch your way along this narrow ledge until you reach the other side.
15
Once you can walk normally again, look to your right. You should spot a small ledge with Document [02/04 - Mongolian] on it. Grab it!
16
Return to the main path and climb the wall at the end to continue.

Tips

Don't forget to backtrack slightly after the first set of stairs to find that Archivist's Map – it's easy to miss if you just push forward.
The narrow ledge section requires patience. Move slowly and deliberately to avoid falling.
Always check your surroundings for those hidden documents and resources – they're crucial for crafting and upgrades.
